West Nile Research Paper

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Well for AP Bio next year we were assigned a summer research paper on an invasive species and i got west nile it has to be 5 pages single spaced but im having a hard time writing even 1 and i dont know why lol. I have about a half a page so far on its viral classification, first discovered and all the basics but i feel as if im dragging on. If any one can suggest any subtopics to mention it would be great, also if some one wouldnt mind proof reading what i have now via message would be greatly appreciated THANKS!</p>

<p>I’ll proof it for you.</p>

<p>Try to get some etiology, as well as information on epidemiology in it. Mention causes, spreading, where it’s most serious, why, and how serious it is. Remember to include symptoms and reasons for those symptoms and possible treatment options.</p>

<p>kk sent in a message pitch</p>

<p>You could talk about vaccine development for both animals and humans, efforts at mosuito control, how public health officers monitor the virus, sentinel birds - their success and/or failure, risk factors for catching WNV, . . </p>

<p>For something exotic, you could talk about lymphohistiocytic proliferative syndrome in captive alligators, a WNV manifestation.</p>

<p>My grandma got diagnosed with West Nile Encephilitis (sp?)… I never got to learning about it though…I really should… sorry. Just the nfact you mentioned west nile…</p>
